Publisher's Description of My Dinosaur Notes: Grades K-2
My Dinosaur Notes is designed to help kids think like a paleontologist. Dinosaur enthusiasts will learn about prehistoric creatures as they sharpen their observation and critical thinking skills. My Dinosaur Notes will build a child's fundamental science skills, inspire them to try new things and encourage them to imagine new possibilities. Whether at home or school, when these notebooks are used in conjunction with books, documentaries, visits to science museums, natural history museums, or dinosaur exhibits, or on-line research, they enhance curriculum and easily measure comprehension.
With these
journals in hand, your budding paleontologists will be ready to go! Perfect for
multi-level learning… Just pair with your favorite dinosaur books or
documentaries and choose the appropriate journal level for each child (K-3 or
3-6). As kids record information about dozens of dinos, they’ll comprehend and
remember so much more! Younger kids will circle pictures to answer many of the
questions about diet, habitat, etc. but both levels have some lined writing
spaces and a box to draw a picture of each animal. Includes suggested books and
websites with up-to-date information that students could use when researching. 64
